Yes and no.

Twinax is not supported on any current hardware...POWER5 was the last to
support it.

But you can get network attached "dumb" 5250 terminals still.

They are actually "thin client" PC's with TN5250 support built in. You can
also find some with a browser built in too.

Hello,

(Very!) many years ago I worked with a s/38 using dumb char-based terminals
(including op console).
It was a successful setup.
Everything was very simple, and very, very reliable.

Now I am in a position to influence some IT.

So, my question:
Does the system i (or whatever the S/38 is currently called today) allow
for simple dumb terminal, twinax connectivity?

Best regards
